Resumen del Editor

How can you have a rich and fulfilling life? The choices you make, not your income or financial assets, are the most powerful determining factor for your quality of life.

Women have never had so many options. Yet we often experience a kind of paralysis, an unconscious willingness to follow societal dictates rather than become the CEOs of our own lives. When we mindlessly follow the dots, we smother our innate gifts and miss opportunities to fulfill our true potential.

There is another way - choosing to live a simply luxurious life. This book will show you how to invest your time and what to eliminate from your life. It will enable you to:

• Design a life of purpose that is aligned with your passions and talents
• Become financially independent
• Enjoy cultivating a healthy mind and body
• Build and maintain strong, loving relationships
• Create a chic, timeless signature style
• Design a comfortable home that is a true sanctuary
• Travel in comfort and style
• Discover simple pleasures that make each day something to look forward to

You can curate the life of your dreams by being purposeful and selective, no matter where you live, your income, or your relationship status. Luxury and true fulfillment are ours for the having if we know where to look and how to make the right choices.

A nice reminder of how to enjoy everyday life!

I really enjoyed this book! It is a nice reminder to really savor and truly enjoy everyday life! Shannon gives practical tips on how to incorporate this mindset into your everyday life. The book could get a bit repetitive at times but the material was good. Overall it’s a good read!

Love the podcast

I really enjoy the podcast from this author and have listened to several of them multiple times so I thought to try the book. It is good overall but the organization is confusing sometimes. I liked it overall but I think reading a physical copy would be better.

It's ok

felt more like a self congratulatory story than a useful how to. No whimsy or satire, very dry. performed well, but fairly dramatic for the content.

Better for Young, Single Girls

I love the concept of this book - choosing quality over quantity and embracing small luxuries. However, the ideas presented are really only applicable for women who do not have families. I think this would be a great guidebook for young, single, financially secure women who can devote most of their attention to themselves, but for a busy mom with a lot of responsibilities, many of her suggestions were laughably unrealistic. Maybe I’m just bitter that I can’t spend all my time, money, and energy on myself, but I don’t feel like the ideas in this book are doable for or relevant to most women.

Pretty good content

Shannon has some nice and interesting ideas on how to add a little luxury in your life. However, I’d suggest to her to invest in a professional reader, as her reading, pace, and enunciation was a little distracting

a long cliche

I like the podcast. The author seems sincere. The book is rambling and she makes it sound like one run-on sentence.

Great book!

This was the exact book I needed in my life right now. It has very well rounded information that guides you to be being a well rounded citizen. Well done Shannon Ables!

Delivery

Shannon needs to pause between the section title
and the section itself- that is my only comment as I found myself unable to understand where it hw section was starting and another ending. This was only relevant for Sr toons, not chapters.

struggled to finish

I finally finished it, the mundane tone she had made it hard to keep listening.

Overall message great

Overall her book and message are great. Her pronunciation of some words is a a little interesting. And sometimes pauses, and lack thereof, is off.
